Real experience, key trends and ticketing market perspectives
You are the ticketing operator, ticketing platform or payment service representative
and you’d like to meet several hundred of your customers and partners at one event; find out their "pains" and future plans; find new niches for your business; find qualified employees; find out who will be bought first and who will be forced out of the market soon.
You are the sports, cultural or musical events organizer
and you’d like to understand how to predict sales and “not fly into the red”; how to create a “funnel” of customers on your event; what is more profitable - to sell by yourself or via operators; how dynamic pricing affects sales and how some still achieve sold out.
You are the concert hall or multifunctional complex representative
and you’d like to make the scheme of the hall quickly and in the most accurate way; to know how to organize the effective work of the ticketing table and to find specialists; how to make your own successful events.
You are the cultural institution representative (theatre, philharmonic hall, etc.)
and you’d like to understand how to organize the correct work of the ticketing table and to work effectively with ticketing operators; how to create a loyal community; how to find a balance between online and offline sales; what to do with tickets refund and how to spend the “Year of the Theater” in a most effective way.
You are the sports club, Federation or League representative
and you are interested in sold out not only for the top teams matches but also for the “common” ones, in the accurate forecast of the arena’s occupancy, in the correct allocation of season tickets quotas; want to learn how to work with corporate clients.
You are the access control systems, software, equipment and ticketing management materials producer
and you’d like to show your developments and technological solutions to the target audience, make a presentation of your products to potential customers, evaluate competitors ' offers and current market demands.
You have not found yourself on this list, but you are interested in the ticketing industry?
Knock us on the chat and we'll figure something out!
The Forum will host an award in the field of ticketing solutions and technologies — MOSCOW TICKETING AWARDS.
Such kind of events are incredibly important, no matter where in the world they occur. It is very important for the industry representatives to have the opportunity to discuss current problems, to have the dialogue without the sense of competition, but from the point of view of the investment into the industry. International participation is a very important part of such events. The big audience and subject matters, the high level of the discussing issue, the ways of development and promotion – that’s what you will find here.
It is great to see competing companies at the same venue, talking about common topics and discussing current problems. When people being at one room talk about tickets and have the opportunity to find solutions - it's wonderful, it's really a great platform for the dialogue.
I think that “specialization” is important. It is impossible to “do everything”, because any effective business requires concentration. Moscow Ticketing Forum is the concentration of the industry. This is not a conference “about everything”, this is the conference about the ticketing market and its features.
Forum is the meeting place that is necessary. And the Forum works well on it, because people come back and new people come to the event. There is the exchange of viewpoints, the opportunity to sum up the results of the year, to talk about the prospects.
The Forum is the platform for enriching teamwork globally. Therefore, I think that it is very useful to participate in the Forum: on one hand, it has a positive impact on colleagues, and on the other hand, it creates an image for us as market participants.
We are very interested in this Forum as the leading company: in order to follow new trends, to discuss the problems that we all face, to communicate with colleagues. Such forums do not take place often. This Forum gives an understanding of what is important for the market participants now.
I am glad that we were invited to this Forum. We were interested in participating the Forum from the point of view of the blockchain technology development. We clearly see that the organizers are interested in this technology. We tried to explain how we can make the market secure and reliable with the help of our development, and what solutions will the blockchain bring to the secondary market.
This is the largest industry event taking place in our country, so for me there was no question – to visit it or not. It is always useful: it is about new contacts, it is the opportunity to meet the market, to understand current and future trends. For me the benefits are beyond doubt.
Our company participates in the Forum for the second time. After the first Forum we have got 3 new clients, very big and interesting. < ... > The Forum allows to raise the “degree” of the mood and to inspire the participants for the industries’ development.
Very productive and interesting. The representatives from all the parts of the ticketing market are at the venue, and that gives the complete picture of the entire ticketing industry and gives the opportunities to choose the future direction of their business.
This Forum is very important to me, because the ultimate goals of all the events by SAV Entertainment are ticket sales and sold out. That’s why the fact that I was invited here is a great honor for me.
The usefulness of the Forum is to learn, to get new information, to know the trends, not to sting. For me it was important to discuss the quality problems of the product for which tickets are sold, as well as the problems of disseminating information about events. I would like the Forum to have a future.
I believe that it is very important to participate in such events, where the professionals of the ticket industry have gathered and can speak freely on this topic.
The forum is necessary in order to listen to what thoughts and views other market participants have. Perhaps someone has already come up with solutions to the problems that we have just revealed.
It is very interesting to participate in this Forum as the potential of the Russian market in the sale of tickets is growing, and especially it is being felt the last two years. It is important to share our experience and learn from the experience of the Russian market. This event is very unifying.
The questions were professional, we spoke with the audience one language.
I am grateful for the invitation, I met many colleagues with whom I spoke earlier, I got acquainted with several players of the Russian market, and among them were the organizers of major events, representatives of agencies, ticketing companies.
The atmosphere of the event is friendly; the questions are interesting and relevant. All the professionals gathered here. The forum offers a high-quality communication format. This is a good experience.
A very worthy event where you need to participate both to ticket operators and content providers. At such forums people exchange experiences, discuss ideas that are then being picked up, transformed into undertakings, and the industry essentially lives on.
